The St. Regis Museum Tower is a 42-floor, 484 ft. (148 m) highrise building located in San Francisco's South of Market district right next to the Yerba Buena Gardens, Moscone Center, PacBell Building and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.^[1] The tower is bounded by Mission Street to the northwest, 3rd St. to the southwest and a small alley to the southeast. The hotel brand St. Regis has the same operator (Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide) as the W Hotel San Francisco across from the Museum of Modern Art. The hotel recently attained five-star status.^[3]

The tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and constructed by Webcor Builders.^[2] Construction began on the highrise sometime around 2001. The project was completed in 2005 along with the retrofit of historic nine-story The Williams Building, which was incorporated into the tower itself.^[4] The tower houses 102 luxury condos, 269 hotel rooms, a 4-story subterranean parking garage, and Yerba Buena's newest museum, the Museum of the African Diaspora.^[1][3] This is also one out of several new highrise projects completed or under construction on Mission Street since 2000, like 555 Mission Street, The Paramount, 101 Second Street, JP MorganChase Building, and 301 Mission Street.
